None of luthier shops had it, they had 3 ply and 5 ply but not 4 ply. They did have pearloid top but needed pure white. Sweetfinger had some custom made and was lucky enough that he kept his extra pieces and sell them. Huge shout out to him!

Other option was using the original univox, only issue was it was rare and on top of that we needed a left handed version, not even sure if it existed. So lucky on this one.

Will start working in illustrator to work up that intersection with vinyl pickguard. So apparently there is a blue label “Thomas Road Baptist Church” vinyl that also exists. Zooming in I still can’t be definitive if it is the black label or blue. The sweatshirt he is wearing is blue and similar to color, but still can’t be sure.
Customer wanted to blue one on it, and can cut a black also for him. So he will have both versions. I also ordered a sealed mint condition record on discogs, not sure what color it is but may save it for the version I’m doing which may be a clean version, non reliced version.
